    Check this out. They have 3 sunbelt teams in. At least we are on the next 15 in. We just need to keep winning.

    I know this is a prediction and means nothing, but none the less it is interesting. Not sure if anyone posted this yet.

    Since you ARE your opponents-opponent are you counted in that stat adn if so does it matter if you played them one or 3 times?

    Every conference goes .500 within its own conference, somebody must win and somebody must lose unless there is a tie. To build your conference's RPI the conference must win non-conference games.

    I still say that the 3rd part of the RPI formula (25% x opponents opponents winning %) will be stronger if UL was to lose to a conference opponent rather than a non-conference opponent.

    The reason again and I will use the same example of Miami-Ohio and FAU. Our opponents opponents winning % is affected much more in a positive way with a lose to FAU rather than a lose Miami-Ohio because we play many more teams that have FAU on their schedule because they are in our conference.

    No. Again, it is the Cajuns' opponents' opponents' opponents' W-L record that would be affected here (which is not used in the calculation of the Cajuns' RPI), not the Cajuns' opponents' opponents' W-L record.

    No, when calculating your own RPI, results against yourself are not included in your opponents' opponents' W-L calculation.

    Interesting that we are now ahead of Southeastern in the Boyd's World RPI. They now have 12 losses... and play a weaker schedule that we do.

    Many were suggesting that we hire the SLU coach here.

    Amazing that at this point the SEC has 9 teams in the top 25 in RPI.
